and for dimensioning control units connected to the solar modules. Any type of soiling on the
plug contacts before or after installation (dust, moisture, aerosols containing salt, etc.) has a
negative influence on the system function over the intended service period. For this reason it
is necessary to pay particular attention to cleanliness during installation. The use of lubricants
is not permitted. Always protect unplugged connectors against soiling of any type during
transport, storage, and during installation, as the connectors only satisfy the requirements for
their protection category when plugged in. It is forbidden to open the junction box or modify
or remove the cable or frame.
WARNING
The plug contacts must not be connected or disconnected under load. Failure
to comply with this warning could result in DEATH!
Potential equalization of the solar ge-
nerator is prepared in the factory and is
recommended. It can be carried out using
the existing punchings for potential equa-
lization on the long sides of the frame (see
figure) or suitable clamps with integrated
grounding pins in accordance with the
valid local regulations.
NOTE
It is advisable to install lightening protection in exposed locations. The solar mo-
dules should be incorporated in existing lightening protection equipment. For this,
take into account the relevant valid regulations (e.g. EN 62305 and VDE 100).
